February BS Thread

Welcome visitors to the monthly Mississippi Chapter BS Thread... where we mostly discuss the vagaries of our weather.
If you are a MS Ford truck (any year, vintage) owner, please say hello & especially if you are interested in having the coveted chapter membership added to your FTE status.
If you're in a neighboring state/region or just like us, please feel free to join in & post.

We love projects. We love pictures of projects. If you know of a automotive event close by that may have slipped our notice, please tell us about it.
If you're out & about in the state, say where & when & we can do IRL for a cup of coffee or cool beverage. If you need advice/info/helping hand, speak up & we'll give it a shot.


To those who still chose to visit.

My most unfavorite month of all.

The crappy weather being the least of it.

Can't be over fast enough.

At least the daylight increases daily

In memoriam of these two people I lost in February, who gave me my faith in God, love of my country, patriotism for it & shapes all that I think, feel & do.

I'm on my knees trying to re-hab a 75 year old gravel drive way one spade full at a time.

Got 6 more days before I have to "prove I'm not parking in yard".

Who needs a HOA when you have gentrified small southern town bustin' *** to make to bring in yankee millennials & other such gens.

But weathers nice to do it in ....

I understand the need for codes & would have had gladly talked to a city rep & discussed any actual infractions verses rectification & compliance.

But the whole nightmare is so bush-league & revenue based.

Low hanging fruit always gets picked first.

I hope all goes well. Just remember you have the right to remain silent, even if you lack the ability.
